Under pressure Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola is taking responsibility for the club’s current plight and admits he is ‘worried’ by their position in the table.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth’s decision to replace Gary O’Neil with Iraola in the summer has backfired so far with their 3-0 defeat at Everton on Saturday leaving them in the relegation zone and winless in eight matches.<\/p>\n
The young Spaniard arrived with a big reputation but acknowledges he needs to live up to it.<\/p>\n
The Cherries sacked Scott Parker after four games last season and now have the international break to consider their next move.<\/p>\n
‘You talk about the good reputation but I have to show it,’ said Iraola.<\/p>\n

Andoni Iraola is taking responsibility for the club’s current plight and admits he is ‘worried’ by their position in the table<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Their 3-0 defeat at Everton on Saturday leaves them in the relegation zone and winless in eight matches<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Iraola has admitted that his side must improve defensively if they are to get back to winning ways<\/p>\n
‘The only thing you can do is start with yourself. We haven’t won games so I’m not doing my homework.<\/p>\n
‘I feel like the players are pushing and are really disappointed and I am more than happy to coach them but when you are in the relegation spots like we are now we have to be worried.<\/p>\n
‘You have to continue working and improve.’<\/p>\n
Many of Bournemouth’s wounds at Goodison Park were self-inflicted and the manager added: ‘We know the best thing we have to do is be much more solid defensively.<\/p>\n
‘We are conceding too easy goals and they are taking us from the games. We have to keep the concentration for 100 minutes otherwise it is very difficult.<\/p>\n
‘The first goal (after eight minutes) took a little bit of confidence away, especially in the build-up.<\/p>\n
‘And it gave Everton confidence and momentum.’<\/p>\n
